[rssac-caucus] cryptopan implementations and "Recommendations on Anonymization Processes for Source IP Addresses Submitted for Future Analysis"
by John Heidemann Aug. 15, 2018

Aug. 15, 2018

The "Recommendations on Anonymization Processes for Source IP Addresses Submitted for Future Analysis" document had moved the caucus for discussion. One of its proposed anonymization schemes was Cryptopan, from the work of Xu, Fan, Ammar and Moon from Georgia Tech. For folks who are interested, an update about cryptopan: we pulled our implementation out into a library, at <https://ant.isi.edu/software/cryptopANT/index.html>. GaTech has an implementation as well. Ours was done independently from theirs (theirs was not released when we started), but both follow their paper. We identified some small implementation differences that prevent interoperability, but it would be fairly easy to align them. I think that points to the clarity of the original paper. Details are at <https://ant.isi.edu/software/cryptopANT/index.html>. -John Heidemann

It is time to begin the selection process for the Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee (RZERC). Please refer to this page < https://www.icann.org/rzerc> for information about the RZERC. I have also copied below the relevant sections from “RSSAC000v3: RSSAC Operational Procedures” for your reference. With this notice, a one-month application period is now open. Applicants must complete a statement of interest form and submit it to carlos.reyes(a)icann.org<mailto:carlos.reyes@icann.org> by 23:59 UTC on 7 September. The statement of interest form is attached. The RSSAC will then consider the slate of candidates. Brad Verd is the current RSSAC Liaison to the RZERC. Per RSSAC000v3, Brad is eligible for re-appointment. The RSSAC Co-Chairs appreciate your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact the RSSAC Co-Chairs or support staff with any questions or concerns. Best, Carlos Reyes on behalf of Tripti Sinha and Brad Verd, RSSAC Co-Chairs RSSAC000v3 https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rssac-000-op-procedures-23oct17… 1.2.6.7 Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee is specified in the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee charter. The term for the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee shall be one year. A person may only serve for three consecutive terms. The eligibility status for a previous liaison is reset one year after having stepped down. The RSSAC must elect the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee according to the outgoing RSSAC liaisons election procedure (Section 1.2.6.8) from the members of the RSSAC Caucus. The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee acts as a conduit between the RSSAC and the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee reporting on matters that need to be coordinated or communicated between the two bodies. The role requires discretion, management skills, and considerable time commitment. Please note: RSSAC000v3 has two copy editing mistakes that refer to “Customer Standing Committee” instead of “Root Zone Evolution Review Committee.” This has been fixed in the preceding text. The RSSAC will modify this in RSSAC000v4. 1.2.6.8 Outgoing RSSAC Liaisons Election Procedure One month prior to each election, qualified nominees will be accepted for the outgoing liaison position and announced on the RSSAC distribution list. During the meeting that includes election of an outgoing liaison position on its announced agenda, additional nominations will be accepted, and all nominees will indicate their intentions: to accept or to decline their nomination. In the event that only one candidate is standing for election, the RSSAC may elect the new outgoing liaison by acclamation. In the event that two or more candidates are standing for election, the presiding Co-Chair will call for a vote. Members will indicate their selection. A simple majority (half plus one) of the voting members will establish the new liaison. In the event a simple majority is not achieved due to having more than two nominees, the nominee with the least number of votes is eliminated and the voting is repeated with the reduced slate of names. The process is repeated until a nominee achieves a simple majority. In the event of a tie, a run-off election will occur with members indicating their selection. In the event of a second tie, the floor will be opened for discussion followed by a new vote with the simple majority designating the new liaison. The Co-Chairs will forward the name of the outgoing liaison-elect to the reciprocating body. If a vacancy exists in an outgoing liaison role, the RSSAC will elect a new outgoing liaison through this process.
